Posted August 18, 20222 yr Check this toss out, and we wonder if he would have been allowed to try this pass in our offense. Highlight: Makai Polk Snags Dime Between Defenders WWW.BALTIMORERAVENS.COM Undrafted rookie wide receiver Makai Polk pulls in a tough catch on a perfect throw from undrafted rookie quarterback Anthony Brown.
August 18, 20222 yr Not new info, but I have been told the coaches definitely had Brown #1 for a reason. Just the prevent offense limited what we do and/or focus as priority downfield. We saw open frustration from receivers even in game, but in the end most quotes seemed to point at scheme rather than AB
August 18, 20222 yr So much of me wonders if Cristobal would have even made it as a head coach at Oregon; were HE the one hired to replace Helfrich after he was canned. Cristobal would have to pick a team up from the worst season in 25 years (Taggart at least did well with what he had to work with). He would have gotten an extra season with Herbert and I do not mean this in a good way. This would have been an extra season under the tutelage of a man hell-bent on making the QB a non-factor in games. I feel like after 3-4 seasons, the crowds with pitchforks would be massing at Rob Mullens doorstep demanding a change. AB had his faults, as evidenced by his prior stint at Boston College. But with an offense full of playmakers, all he had to do was get the ball to them and take care of the ball. He took care of the ball just fine but never got the opportunity to get the ball to his play makers in mismatch situations. That offense was more vanilla than a Portland State spring game and it was all MC's fault. He hired one inept OC and his next one quit. He would have gotten himself and Rob Mullens fired if he was hired as HC instead of Taggart.
August 19, 20222 yr Author The 2021 team had talent, but nobody on offense was all pac-12, 1st or 2nd team, other than lineman. We had honorable mention all pac-12, but as the winner of the north division nobody who put up points got honors. Further proof we had no offensive direction. Our qb is now on an NFL squad, pathetic. Fortunately it did end, 😉 and we got talent that is going to be released! Also I am extremely happy for Anthony who was a quiet warrior who put himself at great risk for the program.
August 19, 20222 yr IF you watched the replay that was one heck of a throw by Brown. Man I feel for the guy. He has talent, must be thinking "why did I go play at Oregon for Cristobal". Mario sold him on "come play for me I'll make you an NFL quarterback". What a waste of talent. Makes me wonder about Tyler Shough, and Robby Ashford. Were they in over their heads or were they just wasted talents. It will be interesting to watch their performances this year to see how they do. Has Mario learned anything from his time at Oregon? Will he take the reigns off the offense and let his offensive coordinator do his job? If the offense sputters will Mario take back control and lock down the offense? So many questions, two more weeks until we start to get some answers. 🙂
August 22, 20222 yr Moderator Saw AB and the Ravens play the Cardinals on TV tonight. I only saw the second half and he was playing the whole time. He's getting more comfortable and more playing time. His numbers were 10/13, 91yds, 2 TD, 1 Int, no sacks. Ravens won 24-17. His first TD was a 3-yd pass. Here is video of his second TD...

But all too often, be it a result of MC's anemic passing game strategy or Brown's case of the yips, the "touch" was the hash mark 3 yards in front of his target, the DB's fingertips or the sideline Gatorade cooler. The Raven's QB coach has gotta fix those jai alai windmill throwing mechanics for AB to stick in the league.
August 22, 20222 yr Moderator QB Anthony Brown is breaking out in the preseason, leaving Oregon fans to question Mario Cristobal. This article is fresh off the FishDuck Feed this morning. His play in the Ravens' preseason is not what we saw last year with the Ducks... It turns out he’s capable of a lot more than what we saw with the Ducks a year ago. Mario Cristobal, you have a few hundred calls on Line 1. Pro Ducks: Anthony Brown having a breakout preseason with the Ravens DUCKSWIRE.USATODAY.COM This sure isn’t the Anthony Brown we saw in Eugene last season. Duck fans react to the former Oregon QB’s preseason breakout in... Note AB's preseason numbers so far below.
August 22, 20222 yr Administrator Good game numbers...and in the NFL? Yikes. Miami fans....are you believing you have a QB-Killer on your hands yet? Mr. FishDuck

And the rest where Oregon wins but generally plays down to the level of their competition. Beating Ohio State was perhaps the best coaching jobs of the Cristobal era. But in reality Oregon probably should have won by at least 14.

Jump out big then pull a turtle act in the 2nd half. Loss Just head scratching If Lanning just brings consistent whatever, I'll be happy
